Flag Pole Sitta

What’s the difference between being paranoid and being perceptive?

I am one of those people who take note of everything happening around me. My mind then translates these notes in to assumptions. Yes, I know the old adage about what happens when you “ass-u-me,” but let’s face it, everyone does it.

Oddly, what happens AFTER I assume seems to define my actions. If I was totally off, I’m paranoid. If I was spot on, I’m perceptive. Really? Maybe I was just off that day!

I think that the real difference between those who are paranoid and those who are perceptive is just how good they are at interpreting the world around them. Do you interpret everything as having something to do with you? Paranoid. Do you think that nothing has to do with you? Clueless. Do you accurately interpret what is going on around you? Real.

I have spoken.
